The advent of survival games can be linked with the release of Minecraft in 2009 which subsequently led to the development of many games belonging to the same genre. Many of these were direct carbon-copies with little to no innovation that could be visibly assessed. Others (Dayz, Ark: Survival Evolved 7 Days to Die) however, were far more interesting and added an array of original features. I have invested hundreds of hours of my useful and productive time in playing survival games of varying quality but only a handful of them have been able to satisfy me and have survived my unwonted habit of bashing games for being blatant rip-offs. Rust is a game that I have had since it was in its ‘legacy’ version and have watched it reach the skies from the very grass-roots. It is something of a glamour fest that one can never forget. And even though my experience with it has been sort of a love-hate relationship, I can hardly get over it. In a way, it is something that I hold very dear to myself.

I dont like survival games in general as they tend to disrespect the players time some times, but I ended up having lots of fun with Subnautica and Long Dark even on switch where the ports were inferior versions.
So I am now more open in trying games in that genre
Subnautica was such an amazing game, i like sandbox games and blending it with horror and survival aspects was just brilliant i never knew the ocean can be such a frightening place.
